@Beirne.... told ya.

Looks like I'm pulling for the ALCS winner now (regardless of who it is).

I'm not going to get sucked in.....
@RonnieDobbs , looking forward to an exciting Series!
Just remember, in less than a month we're all going to be good friends, rooting for Black & Gold!

This is a pretty good summary/preview of the next NLCS

Boy o boy, did the Nationals punk St. Louis or what?

As many of us previously stated, losing Harper was the absolute best thing that could have happened to them. They have a 20 year old kid who is already as good or better than Harper right now. I’m guessing if and when they re-sign him, it will be for
much less than $330m. Funny how things work out.

@RonnieDobbs , and any other Nationals fans out there, I will tip my cap to you. Your pitching was unbelievable in this NLCS, and I think we left our bats behind in Atlanta!

Good luck in the World Series! I will be standing with my NL brethren and rooting for you guys. Go Nats!

Here's a laugh for you guys on a Friday...

Justin Turner, said he would be open to a position change if the Dodgers pursued Anthony Rendon.... this was how his wife responded.

Thanks guys. Whatever happens, this is a highlight of my sports watching life. Hard to top VCU in the final four. I was a big Skins fan in the early 90s, but I've lost so much interest in football, its hard for me to rank their Super Bowls higher. The Bullets in '78 though. That was big (I was 12).

But it has been so much fun these last 5 months, after their bad start. The bullpen issues, the baby shark thing, Rendon and Soto's season, the starters, etc.

Well guys.... tonight is the final night of the season. Then it's a break til the Winter Meetings & such.

Nats going for their first World Series.... and something that's never happened before in World Series History (the road team winning every single game). Meanwhile, the Astros are going for their 2nd in 3 years (and 2nd ever).

Whatever happens.... good luck tonight @RonnieDobbs.

Thanks man. I have had a lot of trouble getting work done today.

I don't think I have to tell you what I think of your Braves. Mad respect.

Yup, and while I may not necessarily be rooting for the Nats.... y’all have played your hearts and minds out. From 19-31 on the verge of firing and trading people.... to now playing in a Game 7 of a WS.... pretty remarkable

 

[Beirne]

Congrats, Nats!

And while the Nationals fans celebrate their championship.... I change the thread to the Hot Stove!
Let the improvement season begin!
